Hercule Poirot is called on to investigate the murder of a brother and sister, in this classic Agatha Christie mystery now available in an updated edition with a foreword Sophie Hannah.
 &;He was murdered, wasn&;t he?&;
When Cora Lansquenet is savagely murdered, the extraordinary remark she had made the previous day at her brother Richard&;s funeral suddenly takes on a chilling significance. At the reading of Richard&;s will, Cora was clearly heard to say, &;It&;s been hushed up very nicely, hasn&;t it. But he was murdered, wasn&;t he?&;
Did Cora&;s accusation a dark truth that sealed her own fate? Or are the siblings&; deaths just tragic coincidences?
Desperate to know the truth, the Lansquenet&;s solicitor turns to Hercule Poirot to unravel the mystery. For even after the funeral, death isn&;t finished yet . . .
